Suspicious activity
Firefinder Lane
Dec. 8

An officer was dispatched to Firefinder Lane in reference to a group of juveniles standing in the road in front of a complainant’s residence. The officer made contact with the juveniles who stated they were waiting for a friend who lived in the neighborhood. When the juveniles were asked if anything had been said between the complainant and themselves, they stated no but noted the complainant was yelling at someone inside his residence. The officer attempted to make contact with the complainant, but he stated he did not wish to speak to the officer because he (the officer) spoke with the juveniles first. The complainant stated since he was the complainant and a voting citizen of Hinesville, the officer should have come to him to see what the problem was. The officer then tried to speak with the complainant’s wife to see if she could tell him what was going on between the juveniles and the complainant, but as the officer was speaking with the complainant’s wife the complainant said, “I don’t want you in my yard. The reason I called was because one of those kids said they had a  gun.” The officer asked the complainant if he could show him which juvenile supposedly had the weapon, but he declined to cooperate. The officer advised the complainant to have a good night. No criminal activity was observed.

The officer spoke with the suspect and she stated her neighbor (the complainant) had been antagonizing her dog. She stated that shortly before the officer arrived, she observed the complainant standing between his sheds and pointing at her dog as the animal continuously barked at him. He also told her he was going to call the police. While the officer was talking to the suspect, her dog would bark at the officer when it saw him, but when the officer stepped out of his view, he would not bark.
